GAUNTLET REMAKES

Gauntlet is a fantasy-themed hack and slash1985arcade game by Atari Games.It is noted as being one of the first multi-player dungeon crawl arcade games.
Controversy came after the release of the game in the arcade and its subsequent port to the Nintendo Entertainment System. Ed Logg, the creator of Asteroids and Centipede, is credited for Original Game Design of Gauntlet in the arcade version, as well as the 1987 NES release version. After its release, John Palevich threatened a lawsuit, asserting that the original concept for the game was from Dandy (later Dandy Dungeon), a game for the Atari 800 computer written by Palevich in 1983. The conflict was settled without any suit being filed, with Atari Games doing business as Tengen allegedly awarding Palevich a Gauntlet game machine. Logg is taken off this credit in versions subsequent to the 1987 NES release. While he is credited as “special thanks” through 1986, his name is entirely removed from credits on later releases.Logg currently claims no involvement in the NES release.[5] The game Dandy which was the basis for the threatened lawsuit was later reworked by Atari and re-published for the Atari 2600, Atari 7800 and Atari XE as Dark Chambers in 1988,subsequent to the release of Gauntlet II in 1987.
